RE: It Never Rains, but it Pours. - Comedy Open Mic Round #24
We've been lucky, but I remember our hot water heater blowing up and soaking everything on a Friday evening. I had to go buy one from the hardware store and install it myself.
It was natural gas, so I had to get experienced at pipefitting in a closet. It took a couple of days, but we had hot showers by Sunday after seven trips to the hardware store for different parts that kept popping up.
There was a time when we'd have had to do something similar, because we lived paycheck to paycheck. Thankfully I try to have something put aside for these things now. This cleared us out though, so hopefully the next thing will wait until I've built the savings back up a bit!
Know all about the constant trips to the hardware store! You think you've finally got everything and discover something else you need! Then they moved our local hardware store further away...
